5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This will be a prospective study over a 14-month duration with clinical evaluations throughout. Limitless Solutions will provide prosthetics and training system for study subjects that qualify for enrollment.
This is a study being performed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 3D printed myoelectric prosthetic devices in children with a congenital upper limb deficiency.
The aim of this international, prospective, multicenter case series (patient registry) is to gather the first evidence on the use of the MAXFRAME™ system in normal clinical settings during deformity correction of both, the upper and lower limb, and gain information on indications, the handling of the device from the patients' and surgeons' perspective, as well as number of re-planning needed. It is planned to prospectively follow up to 100 patients treated with the MAXFRAME™ system. Information on patients entered into the registry will be collected from before the surgery until the removal of the device.
The comfort and fit of the residual limb within a prosthetic socket are of primary concern for many amputees. The residual limb is typically covered by non-breathable and non- thermally conductive materials that can create a warm and ultimately moist environment. The investigators have developed a silicone liner approach to remove sweat from the skin and out of the socket and to passively conduct heat from the skin using thermally conductive elastomers. This liner has been developed to work alongside a thermo-electric cooling (TEC)-based module called the Intrasocket Cooling Element (ICE) developed in a parallel project by Vivonics, Inc. and Liberating Technologies, Inc. The ICE device can be embedded into the prosthesis in order to cool the residual limb. A technology that can provide thermal control while retaining adequate suspension, weight, and other prosthetic characteristics would benefit many prosthesis wearers.
The purpose of this six site multi-center study is to determine if BTX-A can alleviate the post-operative pain and improve the functional and quality of life outcomes of children with limb length discrepancy or angular deformity undergoing limb lengthening or deformity correction.
